NARRATOR:
A detailed description
2
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:06,230
of a highly advanced
aircraft appears
3
00:00:06,248 --> 00:00:09,399
in a 3,000-year-old text.

00:00:09,493 --> 00:00:10,492
JONATHAN YOUNG:
There are tales
5
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:11,677
of flying craft
6
00:00:11,828 --> 00:00:14,238
that could fly
at extraordinary speeds
7
00:00:14,331 --> 00:00:16,664
that defy the laws of physics.
8
00:00:16,684 --> 00:00:19,409
NARRATOR:
Ancient stories depict a vehicle
9
00:00:19,428 --> 00:00:23,188
that travels both
in the sky and underwater.
10
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:25,858
WILLIAM HENRY: In Sumeria
and in Babylon, they talked about
11
00:00:26,085 --> 00:00:30,696
Oannes who emerged
from the sea in a winged disc.
12
00:00:30,923 --> 00:00:33,532
NARRATOR: And the
oldest Egyptian hieroglyphs
13
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:36,702
reference strange objects
descending to Earth.
14
00:00:36,929 --> 00:00:40,188
We have depictions
in ancient times
15
00:00:40,282 --> 00:00:42,708
of flying craft that seem to be
16
00:00:42,859 --> 00:00:44,877
in the form of pyramids.
17
00:00:45,028 --> 00:00:47,546
NARRATOR:
Now, military personnel
18
00:00:47,697 --> 00:00:49,214
are capturing footage
19
00:00:49,441 --> 00:00:51,792
of nearly identical
objects in the sky.
20
00:00:51,886 --> 00:00:55,445
Are we encountering
the same extraterrestrials
21
00:00:55,464 --> 00:00:59,558
that have occupied Earth
for thousands of years?
22
00:01:00,786 --> 00:01:02,561
♪ ♪
23
00:01:04,123 --> 00:01:05,731
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
24
00:01:05,882 --> 00:01:08,567
in the universe.
25
00:01:08,718 --> 00:01:12,813
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
26
00:01:12,965 --> 00:01:15,557
It demands
we question everything
27
00:01:15,651 --> 00:01:18,059
we have ever been taught.
28
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:21,396
The evidence is all around us.
29
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:25,309
The future is
right before our eyes.
30
00:01:25,327 --> 00:01:28,236
We are not alone.
31
00:01:28,330 --> 00:01:31,090
We have never been alone.
32
00:01:40,101 --> 00:01:43,510
NARRATOR:
July 2019.
33
00:01:43,662 --> 00:01:47,106
San Clemente Island, California.
34
00:01:47,333 --> 00:01:50,442
68 nautical miles west
of San Diego.
35
00:01:50,594 --> 00:01:53,595
Nine U.S. warships
36
00:01:53,614 --> 00:01:55,614
belonging to an elite
Navy unit called
37
00:01:55,765 --> 00:01:57,616
Carrier Strike Group 9
38
00:01:57,767 --> 00:02:00,119
are performing nighttime
training exercises
39
00:02:00,270 --> 00:02:02,121
in restricted waters.
40
00:02:02,272 --> 00:02:05,532
The Navy was undertaking
an exercise
41
00:02:05,684 --> 00:02:07,775
with Strike Force 9.
42
00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:11,188
This is an integrated crew
43
00:02:11,281 --> 00:02:13,114
centered on an aircraft carrier,
44
00:02:13,208 --> 00:02:15,450
but with multiple other
45
00:02:15,544 --> 00:02:17,861
U.S. Navy vessels,
46
00:02:17,954 --> 00:02:21,381
and jets really testing how
47
00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:24,368
the U.S. military would respond
48
00:02:24,386 --> 00:02:26,478
in a war-fighting situation,
49
00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:29,222
so everything
has to be seamless.
50
00:02:29,375 --> 00:02:30,390
And then,
51
00:02:30,542 --> 00:02:33,377
into the middle of all of this,
52
00:02:33,395 --> 00:02:36,546
suddenly and unexpectedly,
53
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,882
the exercise is interrupted
54
00:02:38,901 --> 00:02:41,160
by an unknown presence.
55
00:02:43,146 --> 00:02:44,479
NARRATOR:
The ships are swarmed
56
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:47,315
by what the Navy
refers to as UAVs,
57
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:50,652
or Unidentified Aerial Vehicles.
58
00:02:50,671 --> 00:02:53,988
The UAVs fly for prolonged
periods of time
59
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:56,249
in low-visibility conditions,
60
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:59,160
performing brazen maneuvers
over the warships
61
00:02:59,180 --> 00:03:01,996
near a sensitive
military training range.
62
00:03:02,090 --> 00:03:03,590
Make no mistake about it,
63
00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:08,002
something is penetrating
64
00:03:08,022 --> 00:03:10,856
the sophisticated
air defense network.
65
00:03:11,007 --> 00:03:13,917
JEREMY CORBELL:
That swarm series
66
00:03:13,936 --> 00:03:16,695
of UFOs around Navy ships
67
00:03:16,846 --> 00:03:19,013
is one of the most important
bodies of evidence
68
00:03:19,033 --> 00:03:21,516
ever documented
and put out to the public
69
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:24,519
because it involved
so many ships.
70
00:03:24,538 --> 00:03:27,264
There were
a strategic coordination
71
00:03:27,282 --> 00:03:28,707
of these unidentifieds.
72
00:03:30,527 --> 00:03:32,452
NARRATOR:
The Photographic Interpretation
73
00:03:32,604 --> 00:03:35,956
and Examination team
aboard the USS Russell
74
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:39,534
captured a compelling
18-second night vision video
75
00:03:39,628 --> 00:03:44,798
of multiple UAVs hovering
just 700 feet above the ship.
76
00:03:44,892 --> 00:03:47,226
CORBELL: The USS
Russell was swarmed by UFOs
77
00:03:47,453 --> 00:03:50,044
like other ships,
but this was different.
78
00:03:50,138 --> 00:03:52,973
These were flying pyramids
79
00:03:53,125 --> 00:03:55,308
without any
control surfaces, wings,
80
00:03:55,402 --> 00:03:58,237
rudders, tails, plumes,
or exhaust. Nothing.
81
00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:00,297
How did these things move?
82
00:04:00,390 --> 00:04:02,407
How were they able to get past
83
00:04:02,634 --> 00:04:04,968
one of our nation's
greatest defense systems?
84
00:04:04,987 --> 00:04:07,246
This was something that
we couldn't even defend against.
85
00:04:08,824 --> 00:04:11,566
NARRATOR:
In December 2017,
86
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:14,569
just 18 months prior
to this incident,
87
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:17,163
The New York Times
exposed the U.S. government's
88
00:04:17,316 --> 00:04:21,260
secret program to investigate
unidentified aerial phenomena.
89
00:04:23,155 --> 00:04:25,597
Since that bombshell revelation,
90
00:04:25,824 --> 00:04:28,267
numerous photographs
and videos have surfaced
91
00:04:28,494 --> 00:04:31,937
of Navy encounters
with different types of UAPs.
92
00:04:32,164 --> 00:04:34,681
And as far as
ancient astronaut theorists
93
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:37,258
are concerned,
the video captured
94
00:04:37,352 --> 00:04:41,855
from the USS Russell may be
the most extraordinary of all.
95
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:45,450
Not because there were
so many objects seen in the sky,
96
00:04:45,602 --> 00:04:49,246
but because of the UAP's
very unique shape.
97
00:04:51,033 --> 00:04:54,275
TSOUKALOS: The fact that there
are pyramid-shaped objects
98
00:04:54,295 --> 00:04:56,703
that have been filmed
by the Navy
99
00:04:56,855 --> 00:04:59,447
is beyond interesting to me
100
00:04:59,466 --> 00:05:03,193
because we have
similar depictions
101
00:05:03,286 --> 00:05:06,638
in ancient times of flying craft
102
00:05:06,865 --> 00:05:09,308
that seem to be
in the form of pyramids.
103
00:05:09,535 --> 00:05:12,460
Clearly, what we see
in this footage of today
104
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:14,554
is pyramid-shaped,
three-dimensionally.
105
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:16,373
It's not flat.
106
00:05:16,466 --> 00:05:18,966
It's a three-dimensional pyramid
107
00:05:19,061 --> 00:05:20,968
floating in the sky.
108
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:22,988
Providing that
the footage is real,
109
00:05:23,139 --> 00:05:25,065
providing it is
extraterrestrial,
110
00:05:25,217 --> 00:05:28,493
then one could argue
that the same visitors
111
00:05:28,645 --> 00:05:30,144
that we've had back then
112
00:05:30,164 --> 00:05:32,164
are showing themselves again.
113
00:05:36,562 --> 00:05:38,986
NARRATOR: On display
in the Egyptian Museum
114
00:05:39,081 --> 00:05:40,580
and Royal Mummies' Hall
115
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:44,343
is an artifact from
the pyramid of Amenemhat III,
116
00:05:44,494 --> 00:05:48,088
called a Benben stone.
117
00:05:48,182 --> 00:05:51,683
In ancient Egypt, similar
pyramid-shaped capstones
118
00:05:51,835 --> 00:05:55,579
were placed on the top of giant
standing stones called obelisks.
119
00:05:55,672 --> 00:05:58,582
The first of these Benben stones
120
00:05:58,675 --> 00:06:01,342
predate the earliest pyramids.
121
00:06:01,362 --> 00:06:03,420
The obelisk pointed up
toward the heavens,
122
00:06:03,513 --> 00:06:05,364
so it is an object of worship,
123
00:06:05,591 --> 00:06:08,867
and that capstone,
that Benben stone,
124
00:06:09,018 --> 00:06:10,093
was the meeting place.
125
00:06:10,112 --> 00:06:13,187
That was the portal
to other worlds
126
00:06:13,281 --> 00:06:17,617
where human energy lifted up
and made contact with the gods.
127
00:06:17,769 --> 00:06:20,103
HUGH NEWMAN:
The shape of the Benben stone
128
00:06:20,196 --> 00:06:22,196
is like a classic pyramid shape.
129
00:06:22,216 --> 00:06:24,608
And, uh, you know, apparently,
the design of pyramids
130
00:06:24,701 --> 00:06:27,052
was based on
the Benben stone itself,
131
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,554
and these are like
giant versions of it.
132
00:06:31,392 --> 00:06:33,541
DAVID CHILDRESS: The Benben
stone was not just, uh,
133
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,561
symbolizing a connection
to the heavens,
134
00:06:36,713 --> 00:06:41,358
it was actually memorializing
an extraterrestrial visitation.
135
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:47,147
TSOUKALOS: In ancient
Egypt, it's chock-full of references
136
00:06:47,299 --> 00:06:49,724
of celestial beings
descending from the sky
137
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:51,701
and imparting knowledge
to our ancestors.
138
00:06:53,563 --> 00:06:56,656
One of the origin stories says
139
00:06:56,808 --> 00:07:01,161
that a Benben stone
descended from the sky,
140
00:07:01,313 --> 00:07:04,589
out of which
the first creator gods emerged
141
00:07:04,741 --> 00:07:06,666
and started
Egyptian civilization.
142
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,261
It was a flying craft.
143
00:07:11,323 --> 00:07:14,433
NARRATOR: Could the pyramidal
capstones found atop Egypt's obelisks,
144
00:07:14,584 --> 00:07:16,935
and even the pyramids
themselves,
145
00:07:17,086 --> 00:07:20,346
have been inspired by
an extraterrestrial visitation?
146
00:07:20,441 --> 00:07:22,441
And if so,
147
00:07:22,592 --> 00:07:25,502
is it possible
that similar alien craft
148
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,447
were captured on video
above the USS Russell?
149
00:07:30,008 --> 00:07:32,934
What we're seeing
from the USS Russell,
150
00:07:32,953 --> 00:07:37,013
these kind of objects
flying around in the sky
151
00:07:37,032 --> 00:07:38,865
were an identical shape
152
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,518
and there was multiple ones
witnessed and filmed.
153
00:07:41,611 --> 00:07:44,370
And so, is there a connection?
154
00:07:44,523 --> 00:07:46,965
Is this what was witnessed
from the USS Russell?
155
00:07:48,543 --> 00:07:51,194
CHILDRESS: It's a
fascinating idea that, perhaps,
156
00:07:51,213 --> 00:07:53,546
extraterrestrials first arrived
157
00:07:53,699 --> 00:07:58,218
in Egypt in these small,
pyramid-shaped craft,
158
00:07:58,370 --> 00:07:59,794
like we're seeing in this video.
159
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:02,388
And, in fact, many of the UAPs
160
00:08:02,541 --> 00:08:04,724
that have been reported
in modern times
161
00:08:04,876 --> 00:08:07,060
and that we see in
the recent Navy videos
162
00:08:07,212 --> 00:08:10,046
are very reminiscent
of ancient accounts
163
00:08:10,139 --> 00:08:12,974
of strange objects in the sky,
164
00:08:13,068 --> 00:08:14,475
accounts that you can find
165
00:08:14,495 --> 00:08:17,621
in many ancient cultures
around the world.
166
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:22,650
NARRATOR: Did people
living thousands of years ago
167
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:25,078
encounter the very same
objects in the sky
168
00:08:25,230 --> 00:08:28,155
that appear in recent
videos and photographs
169
00:08:28,250 --> 00:08:30,342
taken by the U.S. Navy?
170
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:34,904
And if so, could this indicate
that humans
171
00:08:34,923 --> 00:08:36,923
have been sharing planet Earth
with another race
172
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:38,408
of intelligent beings
173
00:08:38,426 --> 00:08:41,077
since our earliest history?
174
00:08:41,096 --> 00:08:44,414
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
175
00:08:44,432 --> 00:08:46,858
and suggest further evidence
176
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:49,085
can be found in India,
177
00:08:49,178 --> 00:08:51,846
within the pages
of one of the world's
178
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:54,032
oldest texts.
179
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:03,208
NARRATOR: The coast of Florida.

00:09:07,105 --> 00:09:09,939
fly into restricted air space
and encounter
182
00:09:09,958 --> 00:09:12,942
an airborne object
directly in their flight path.
183
00:09:12,961 --> 00:09:16,704
They aim their forward-looking
infrared camera at the object
184
00:09:16,798 --> 00:09:19,966
and capture it in flight.
185
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,786
F-18s were chasing this thing,
and they couldn't catch it.
186
00:09:22,804 --> 00:09:25,379
The UAP is doing things
187
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:28,049
that modern aerodynamic
vehicles can't do.
188
00:09:28,143 --> 00:09:31,403
NARRATOR: According to
the aviator's official report,
189
00:09:31,630 --> 00:09:34,297
the craft descended
from altitudes
190
00:09:34,316 --> 00:09:38,076
of 60,000 feet to 50 feet
in a matter of seconds,
191
00:09:38,303 --> 00:09:40,895
hovering for short periods
of time
192
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:44,231
and departing
at high velocities.
193
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,901
One of the impressive
aspects of it,
194
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,587
is that it's moving
against the wind,
195
00:09:48,814 --> 00:09:50,380
and you can hear
the pilot say this.
196
00:09:59,991 --> 00:10:01,674
CORBELL: It doesn't
lose speed, and it rotates
197
00:10:01,827 --> 00:10:03,751
mechanically against the wind.
198
00:10:03,845 --> 00:10:06,253
This gimbal footage
199
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:10,091
is one of the rare pieces
of physical evidence
200
00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:13,612
that is corroborated directly
by individuals who are
201
00:10:13,763 --> 00:10:15,855
out there on the East Coast
documenting these things.
202
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:18,783
It is highly impressive.
203
00:10:20,937 --> 00:10:23,622
Now, modern-day aircraft
can yaw and pitch,
204
00:10:23,773 --> 00:10:25,457
and they can roll,
205
00:10:25,684 --> 00:10:28,184
but they can't simply
pitch straight up
206
00:10:28,203 --> 00:10:30,795
and continue to move forward
into the line of flight.
207
00:10:30,947 --> 00:10:32,088
This thing does that.
208
00:10:33,616 --> 00:10:35,541
It's moving extremely fast,
209
00:10:35,636 --> 00:10:38,285
and it's accelerating
much faster than the F-18s can.
210
00:10:38,380 --> 00:10:40,880
So that, in itself,
211
00:10:41,032 --> 00:10:43,433
is a feat that mankind
has yet to accomplish.
212
00:10:44,886 --> 00:10:47,312
CORBELL: We tried to
vet this for a long time.
213
00:10:47,463 --> 00:10:50,482
What's uncomfortable is that
we haven't figured it out.
214
00:10:50,709 --> 00:10:53,634
That we don't know
whose technology this is.
215
00:10:53,654 --> 00:10:56,971
If you can't identify someone
that's far more advanced
216
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:59,658
than you technologically,
Houston, we have a problem.
217
00:11:01,328 --> 00:11:03,386
NARRATOR: Navy video
of the incredible encounter
218
00:11:03,479 --> 00:11:06,331
was made public
in December 2017,
219
00:11:06,558 --> 00:11:09,668
and the object
was dubbed "GIMBAL"
220
00:11:09,895 --> 00:11:14,172
due to its ability
to rotate on an axis.
221
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:16,824
But for
ancient astronaut theorists,
222
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:21,829
just as intriguing as the way
it moves is the object's shape.
223
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:25,258
The craft itself
is an acorn-shaped craft.
224
00:11:25,410 --> 00:11:27,427
Immediately, that's reminiscent
225
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:29,837
of the what the ancient
Indian text described as
226
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:32,649
the vimana, which were
acorn-shaped craft.
227
00:11:34,510 --> 00:11:37,511
TSOUKALOS: In the Mahabharata,
and at many of the ancient Vedic texts,
228
00:11:37,531 --> 00:11:41,182
they speak about
the so-called vimanas.
229
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:43,201
The vimanas were flying vehicles
230
00:11:43,428 --> 00:11:46,095
with which to reach
the celestial realm.
231
00:11:46,114 --> 00:11:49,857
NARRATOR: In the ancient
Sanskrit epics of India
232
00:11:49,876 --> 00:11:52,877
there are highly detailed
descriptions of the vimana,
233
00:11:53,029 --> 00:11:56,272
which carried the gods
and other important figures
234
00:11:56,291 --> 00:11:57,957
through the sky
235
00:11:58,109 --> 00:12:01,219
and sometimes to other planets.
236
00:12:01,370 --> 00:12:04,038
The acorn-shaped craft
237
00:12:04,057 --> 00:12:08,785
were even incorporated at the
very top of many Hindu temples,
238
00:12:08,878 --> 00:12:11,563
and some researchers believe
239
00:12:11,714 --> 00:12:14,399
they also inspired
similar Buddhist structures
240
00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:16,901
called stupa.
241
00:12:17,053 --> 00:12:20,387
TSOUKALOS: If we go to
Indonesia and look at Borobudur,
242
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:23,466
where we have 194 stupas
243
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,243
sitting in concentric circles,
244
00:12:25,394 --> 00:12:27,746
each stupa, in my opinion,
245
00:12:27,897 --> 00:12:30,749
represents a type
of flying craft.
246
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:35,420
Because "stupa" actually means
"celestial chariot,"
247
00:12:35,647 --> 00:12:38,923
or a way with which to reach
the celestial realm.
248
00:12:39,150 --> 00:12:43,094
And they are in the shape
of the so-called vimanas.
249
00:12:44,914 --> 00:12:47,748
NARRATOR: Often, the vimana
were described as war machines,
250
00:12:47,768 --> 00:12:50,084
armed with incredible weapons.
251
00:12:50,178 --> 00:12:52,996
There are tales of flying craft
252
00:12:53,014 --> 00:12:54,922
that could defy gravity
253
00:12:55,016 --> 00:12:58,501
and fly at extraordinary speeds
that defy the laws of physics.
254
00:12:58,594 --> 00:13:01,780
These were military in usage,
255
00:13:02,007 --> 00:13:04,265
had powerful engines
and powerful weapons.
256
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:06,526
In these battles,
257
00:13:06,678 --> 00:13:09,512
missiles would fire
that could wipe out cities.
258
00:13:09,531 --> 00:13:11,623
These were the earliest stories
259
00:13:11,774 --> 00:13:14,684
we have
of flying military craft.
260
00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:16,702
HENRY:
In the Indian text,
261
00:13:16,797 --> 00:13:20,857
the vimanas are the chariots
or craft of the gods.
262
00:13:20,875 --> 00:13:24,135
They were clearly
a method of transportation
263
00:13:24,362 --> 00:13:26,954
that could take the gods
from place to place,
264
00:13:26,973 --> 00:13:29,215
country to country,
or even to other planets.
265
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:33,460
They're sometimes described
as bright clouds.
266
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,130
Some of them
are seven stories tall.
267
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:38,966
NARRATOR:
In 1895,
268
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:41,653
Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Talpade
269
00:13:41,804 --> 00:13:44,989
decided to fashion an aircraft
based solely on information
270
00:13:45,216 --> 00:13:47,383
gleaned from the ancient
Indian writings
271
00:13:47,402 --> 00:13:49,828
about the vimana.
272
00:13:49,979 --> 00:13:52,238
While the story
is hotly disputed,
273
00:13:52,390 --> 00:13:54,223
he allegedly tested the craft
274
00:13:54,242 --> 00:13:56,668
in front of an audience
of thousands of people
275
00:13:56,819 --> 00:13:58,819
on a beach in Bombay.
276
00:13:58,839 --> 00:14:01,747
TAYLOR: The legend
has it that he flew for,
277
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:04,342
like, 30 seconds at 1,500 feet.
278
00:14:04,493 --> 00:14:08,404
The Wright brothers only went
120 feet for 12 seconds.
279
00:14:08,423 --> 00:14:12,575
But even more exciting
is that this is technology
280
00:14:12,594 --> 00:14:14,686
based on a scripture written
281
00:14:14,913 --> 00:14:17,747
thousands of years before
mankind ever had the idea
282
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,524
of heavier-than-air flight.
283
00:14:19,675 --> 00:14:21,359
How is this possible?
284
00:14:23,012 --> 00:14:25,012
NARRATOR:
According to the Hindu text,
285
00:14:25,031 --> 00:14:27,348
the crafts were mind-controlled,
286
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:30,093
able to change direction
and pitch
287
00:14:30,111 --> 00:14:32,019
and travel at high speeds,
288
00:14:32,113 --> 00:14:36,190
defying our current knowledge
of aeronautical physics.
289
00:14:36,284 --> 00:14:39,118
What's really cool is that
these modern-day UFO videos
290
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,621
show that these vehicles
291
00:14:41,773 --> 00:14:45,458
are capable
of ridiculous maneuvers.
292
00:14:45,610 --> 00:14:48,553
That they can accelerate
at the drop of a dime,
293
00:14:48,704 --> 00:14:52,965
or they can just stop
or change direction immediately
294
00:14:53,118 --> 00:14:54,559
at g-forces
295
00:14:54,710 --> 00:14:58,212
that we could not survive.
296
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:02,400
In the Vaimanika Shastra, which
describes what these vimanas
297
00:15:02,551 --> 00:15:04,068
were capable of doing,
298
00:15:04,295 --> 00:15:07,146
the exact same
descriptions exist.
299
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,983
The fact that we have
similar stories in ancient times
300
00:15:11,077 --> 00:15:14,728
illustrates to me
something similar has happened.
301
00:15:14,822 --> 00:15:18,750
NARRATOR: Could it be
that the ancient Sanskrit texts
302
00:15:18,977 --> 00:15:21,252
are describing
extraterrestrial vehicles
303
00:15:21,404 --> 00:15:23,813
even more advanced
than the U.S. military's
304
00:15:23,906 --> 00:15:26,332
most sophisticated fighter jets?
305
00:15:26,426 --> 00:15:30,411
And if so, are we seeing
the same alien technology
306
00:15:30,505 --> 00:15:32,822
on display in the recent videos
307
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,082
released by
the United States Navy?
308
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:38,844
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
309
00:15:38,997 --> 00:15:41,330
and suggest that this technology
310
00:15:41,424 --> 00:15:43,590
may also be depicted on the wall
311
00:15:43,685 --> 00:15:47,946
of an Egyptian temple that
dates back thousands of years.
312
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:58,289
NARRATOR:
Dendera, Egypt.
313
00:15:59,775 --> 00:16:01,459
Roughly one and a half
miles southeast
314
00:16:01,610 --> 00:16:05,296
of this ancient city
lies the Temple of Hathor,
315
00:16:05,523 --> 00:16:08,282
one of the most impressive
and well-preserved
316
00:16:08,376 --> 00:16:11,377
archeological sites
in all of Egypt.
317
00:16:11,529 --> 00:16:15,698
Among the vast hieroglyphs that
cover the columns of the temple
318
00:16:15,717 --> 00:16:17,308
are numerous depictions
319
00:16:17,535 --> 00:16:19,811
of pharaohs standing
on mysterious ships
320
00:16:20,038 --> 00:16:22,814
and purportedly traveling
through the stars.
321
00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:25,891
HENRY:
At the Temple of Hathor,
322
00:16:25,986 --> 00:16:29,895
we see a remarkable depiction
of a resurrected pharaoh
323
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:32,306
standing on what
the ancient Egyptians called
324
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:34,325
the Ship of Eternity.
325
00:16:34,552 --> 00:16:38,329
This is a-a craft
that was created by Ptah,
326
00:16:38,481 --> 00:16:40,481
the ancient Egyptian
god of technology,
327
00:16:40,500 --> 00:16:44,243
who the Egyptians connected
with the star Sirius.
328
00:16:44,337 --> 00:16:45,986
In ancient Egypt, we learn of
329
00:16:46,006 --> 00:16:50,341
pharaohs, gods who travelled
the stars riding these craft.
330
00:16:50,493 --> 00:16:52,826
NARRATOR:
According to William Henry,
331
00:16:52,846 --> 00:16:54,570
who has spent decades studying
332
00:16:54,663 --> 00:16:57,089
the ancient
Egyptian iconography,
333
00:16:57,242 --> 00:17:00,000
an important detail found
in some of the depictions
334
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:02,336
at Dendera and elsewhere
335
00:17:02,430 --> 00:17:05,982
is that the pharaoh is shown
within a circle or bubble.
336
00:17:07,935 --> 00:17:09,919
HENRY:
In another remarkable example,
337
00:17:09,937 --> 00:17:11,937
we see a Pharaoh
sitting on a throne
338
00:17:12,090 --> 00:17:14,440
with Isis and Nephthys
339
00:17:14,592 --> 00:17:16,183
on either side of him,
340
00:17:16,202 --> 00:17:20,687
and he's sitting in a blue
bubble or magic bubble.
341
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:23,115
NARRATOR: The so-called
"magic bubble" imagery
342
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:26,193
is found in artwork
throughout the ancient world.
343
00:17:26,212 --> 00:17:28,695
And some researchers speculate
344
00:17:28,790 --> 00:17:30,048
that the repeated connection
345
00:17:30,275 --> 00:17:32,533
between the bubble shape
and ascension
346
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:34,886
may indicate that it represents
347
00:17:35,113 --> 00:17:38,964
a common experience
describing space travel.
348
00:17:39,059 --> 00:17:40,224
Throughout the ancient world,
349
00:17:40,451 --> 00:17:42,709
we find other
very compelling examples
350
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:45,805
of beings
surrounded by a bubble.
351
00:17:45,899 --> 00:17:49,067
For example, in Tibet we find
352
00:17:49,294 --> 00:17:52,570
Padmasambhava who sits
on a lotus throne
353
00:17:52,721 --> 00:17:54,980
surrounded
by rainbow-colored light
354
00:17:55,075 --> 00:17:59,151
with a thin line symbolizing
some form of a bubble.
355
00:17:59,304 --> 00:18:02,305
When you see the earliest
examples of Jesus
356
00:18:02,398 --> 00:18:03,989
ascending into the heavens,
357
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:07,919
he's sitting on a throne
surrounded by concentric rings
358
00:18:08,146 --> 00:18:10,646
that form a bubble
around his body.
359
00:18:10,665 --> 00:18:12,239
These are supposed to represent
360
00:18:12,258 --> 00:18:14,650
what the Book of Acts
says he ascended in
361
00:18:14,743 --> 00:18:16,761
and will return riding upon.
362
00:18:16,988 --> 00:18:20,080
TSOUKALOS:
There are countless paintings
363
00:18:20,174 --> 00:18:23,917
of saints and other
celestial beings
364
00:18:24,011 --> 00:18:26,495
that happen to be shown
365
00:18:26,514 --> 00:18:29,181
in some type of
an energetic bubble.
366
00:18:29,334 --> 00:18:32,110
What if people saw something
367
00:18:32,337 --> 00:18:36,021
that surpassed their
technological intellect,
368
00:18:36,116 --> 00:18:39,617
and thus drew it in that way?
369
00:18:39,768 --> 00:18:42,695
NARRATOR: Mainstream
historians interpret the bubble shape
370
00:18:42,847 --> 00:18:46,515
found in religious art as simply
symbols of divinity.
371
00:18:46,534 --> 00:18:51,629
But could the repetition of this
iconic imagery across traditions
372
00:18:51,856 --> 00:18:56,359
suggest it was something
our ancestors witnessed?
373
00:18:56,377 --> 00:19:00,304
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
374
00:19:00,531 --> 00:19:02,698
and believe further evidence
may be found
375
00:19:02,717 --> 00:19:06,960
by taking a closer look at the
recently released GIMBAL video
376
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:10,731
captured by Navy jets in 2015.
377
00:19:13,153 --> 00:19:15,878
When aerospace engineer
Dr. Travis Taylor
378
00:19:15,897 --> 00:19:17,971
examined the GIMBAL video,
379
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:20,383
he noticed
a very curious anomaly:
380
00:19:20,476 --> 00:19:23,661
a halo of light
surrounding the craft.
381
00:19:26,073 --> 00:19:28,557
TAYLOR: After further analysis
of the video,
382
00:19:28,576 --> 00:19:32,653
what we can see is
there is a bubble region
383
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:35,064
that sort of surrounds
this craft.
384
00:19:35,157 --> 00:19:37,249
This is something
that you don't see
385
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:38,751
when you look through
the same instrument
386
00:19:38,903 --> 00:19:42,254
at, say, an F-18 or an F-22
or an F-35.
387
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:45,925
Black is hot on their
forward-looking infrared camera.
388
00:19:46,019 --> 00:19:48,352
And if black is hot,
then white is cooler,
389
00:19:48,504 --> 00:19:51,080
so this is a colder region
around the vehicle.
390
00:19:51,098 --> 00:19:53,006
So, maybe
391
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:55,918
this is a warp bubble
392
00:19:55,937 --> 00:19:58,512
or some sort of propellant-less
propulsion field
393
00:19:58,606 --> 00:20:00,256
that someone has discovered.
394
00:20:00,349 --> 00:20:02,516
NARRATOR:
The concept of a warp bubble
395
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:05,036
was introduced in 1994
396
00:20:05,187 --> 00:20:07,763
by Mexican physicist
Miguel Alcubierre,
397
00:20:07,782 --> 00:20:09,615
as part of a hypothetical model
398
00:20:09,767 --> 00:20:12,025
for traveling faster
than the speed of light.
399
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:15,104
MICHIO KAKU:
I once asked Miguel Alcubierre
400
00:20:15,122 --> 00:20:18,791
how he came up with the idea
of the Alcubierre drive.
401
00:20:18,943 --> 00:20:21,052
He told me that he was
watching Star Trek.
402
00:20:21,203 --> 00:20:24,037
And in Star Trek, they,
well, compress the space
403
00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:26,891
in front of them and expand
the space behind them
404
00:20:27,042 --> 00:20:29,635
and would rocket faster
than the speed of light.
405
00:20:29,787 --> 00:20:31,637
And then he said,
"Well, wait a minute.
406
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:33,189
I think I can duplicate that."
407
00:20:35,126 --> 00:20:37,401
NARRATOR: In
Alcubierre's theoretical model,
408
00:20:37,628 --> 00:20:40,738
the warp drive vehicle is
surrounded by an energy bubble
409
00:20:40,889 --> 00:20:42,406
within space-time.
410
00:20:42,558 --> 00:20:44,575
KAKU: You need
energy to create a bubble,
411
00:20:44,727 --> 00:20:47,745
what's called a warp bubble,
surrounding your starship.
412
00:20:47,972 --> 00:20:50,248
Then you need what is called
negative energy
413
00:20:50,399 --> 00:20:53,066
to drive it faster
than the speed of light,
414
00:20:53,086 --> 00:20:56,328
while inside,
you feel almost nothing.
415
00:20:56,422 --> 00:20:58,071
HENRY:
When we look at the idea
416
00:20:58,091 --> 00:20:59,590
of a warp bubble
417
00:20:59,817 --> 00:21:01,592
that could surround
a spacecraft,
418
00:21:01,819 --> 00:21:04,262
in the video,
engineers are seeing
419
00:21:04,489 --> 00:21:07,265
exactly that principle
in action.
420
00:21:07,416 --> 00:21:10,326
As far as
ancient astronaut theorists
421
00:21:10,344 --> 00:21:13,178
are concerned,
warp bubble technology
422
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:16,757
could be on display
not only in the GIMBAL video,
423
00:21:16,776 --> 00:21:20,836
but also in artwork
created centuries ago,
424
00:21:20,855 --> 00:21:23,005
like the pharaoh's blue bubble,
425
00:21:23,024 --> 00:21:25,858
the Tibetan lotus throne,
426
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:28,677
the ascension of Christ,
427
00:21:28,771 --> 00:21:31,122
and countless other
sacred images
428
00:21:31,349 --> 00:21:34,517
that seemingly show
identical phenomena.
429
00:21:34,610 --> 00:21:36,460
TSOUKALOS:
So, you have to wonder,
430
00:21:36,612 --> 00:21:40,280
what is it that the artist
tried to depict here?
431
00:21:40,374 --> 00:21:43,042
It's just like
Arthur C. Clarke said,
432
00:21:43,194 --> 00:21:47,788
"Any advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic."
433
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:50,366
HENRY:
These are powerful examples
434
00:21:50,384 --> 00:21:52,368
that are suggesting
ascended beings
435
00:21:52,386 --> 00:21:54,961
who traveled the stars
in magic bubbles
436
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:57,039
that precisely matches
437
00:21:57,132 --> 00:22:00,151
the Alcubierre
warp bubble concept.
438
00:22:00,302 --> 00:22:03,321
TAYLOR: Could these
ancient drawings be showing us
439
00:22:03,472 --> 00:22:05,990
the same thing
that we're seeing today
440
00:22:06,141 --> 00:22:07,992
in these modern-day
infrared cameras?
441
00:22:11,055 --> 00:22:12,663
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that depictions
442
00:22:12,815 --> 00:22:15,558
of figures encompassed
by bubbles found
443
00:22:15,651 --> 00:22:18,485
throughout history
and all around the world
444
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:22,322
represent an alien technology?
445
00:22:22,342 --> 00:22:25,084
Perhaps further clues
can be found
446
00:22:25,236 --> 00:22:28,404
by examining another
extraordinary Navy video
447
00:22:28,422 --> 00:22:30,422
and its direct connection
448
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:31,932
to the ancient world.
449
00:22:43,863 --> 00:22:47,089
NARRATOR:
Veteran journalist George Knapp
450
00:22:47,108 --> 00:22:50,201
and documentary filmmaker
Jeremy Corbell
451
00:22:50,352 --> 00:22:54,205
publish astonishing video
they acquired from the USS Omaha
452
00:22:54,432 --> 00:22:57,541
that shows a mysterious
spherical object
453
00:22:57,693 --> 00:23:01,528
flying at speeds approaching
160 miles per hour
454
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:03,798
before disappearing
into the ocean.
455
00:23:06,777 --> 00:23:11,280
The USS Omaha is one of
the central pieces of evidence
456
00:23:11,298 --> 00:23:14,058
that I've put forward to
the American and global public.
457
00:23:14,209 --> 00:23:17,970
There were objects that were
swarming this Navy warship,
458
00:23:18,064 --> 00:23:19,471
and one in particular
459
00:23:19,624 --> 00:23:22,215
appears to transcend
460
00:23:22,235 --> 00:23:24,793
between the space of air
and into sea.
461
00:23:24,887 --> 00:23:27,220
They call that
a trans-medium vehicle,
462
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,723
a vehicle that can operate
equally as well
463
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:32,484
from in the air
and under the water.
464
00:23:32,637 --> 00:23:34,820
Now, this was suspected,
465
00:23:34,972 --> 00:23:37,063
but when they went
to go look for this craft
466
00:23:37,158 --> 00:23:40,309
under the water,
or for wreckage,
467
00:23:40,327 --> 00:23:41,585
none was found.
468
00:23:44,573 --> 00:23:46,999
NARRATOR: Tennessee
representative Tim Burchett,
469
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:50,669
an outspoken proponent
for disclosure of UFO sightings,
470
00:23:50,821 --> 00:23:55,174
was one of the first members of
Congress to review the footage.
471
00:23:55,326 --> 00:23:56,917
TIM BURCHETT:
To me, i-it's pretty astounding
472
00:23:57,011 --> 00:23:58,827
when they showed
that craft actually
473
00:23:58,846 --> 00:24:00,496
going in and it popping up.
474
00:24:00,514 --> 00:24:01,922
It looked like
it didn't even slow down.
475
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,515
There wasn't any friction at all
476
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:05,943
when it hit the water,
so, to me, that's something
477
00:24:06,094 --> 00:24:08,112
that we can't even begin
to understand, I don't think.
478
00:24:08,339 --> 00:24:10,931
I've read the mathematical
equations of friction
479
00:24:10,950 --> 00:24:13,117
and things like that, and
it just defies all of that.
480
00:24:14,845 --> 00:24:16,120
TAYLOR:
How could a vehicle
481
00:24:16,347 --> 00:24:18,956
fly into the water
at 100 miles per hour?
482
00:24:19,107 --> 00:24:22,776
Well, that suggests either
the surface of this vehicle
483
00:24:22,795 --> 00:24:24,444
is frictionless,
484
00:24:24,464 --> 00:24:26,855
and it wouldn't have
any interaction
485
00:24:26,874 --> 00:24:29,449
with any material
it was flying through,
486
00:24:29,469 --> 00:24:32,803
or it's not frictionless,
it's actually a warp bubble
487
00:24:33,030 --> 00:24:36,215
where the spacecraft
or craft is inside it.
488
00:24:36,367 --> 00:24:40,144
The stresses and strains by
flying through the atmosphere
489
00:24:40,295 --> 00:24:42,796
in outer space and then
plunging into the oceans
490
00:24:42,890 --> 00:24:46,150
would be enough to rupture
any of our known aircraft.
491
00:24:47,561 --> 00:24:50,546
POPE:
These reports of USOs,
492
00:24:50,564 --> 00:24:55,659
unidentified submerged
or submersible objects,
493
00:24:55,811 --> 00:24:58,645
are much more common
than people might suppose.
494
00:24:58,664 --> 00:25:00,981
In 1991,
495
00:25:01,075 --> 00:25:03,000
Jing Yu Xian, a fisherman
496
00:25:03,151 --> 00:25:05,318
was at Fuxian Lake
497
00:25:05,338 --> 00:25:08,154
when he encountered
this strange craft
498
00:25:08,249 --> 00:25:10,991
in the waters of the lake.
499
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:13,827
He described it
as a shining disc.
500
00:25:13,846 --> 00:25:18,182
This UFO was so close
and so powerful
501
00:25:18,409 --> 00:25:20,601
that it actually tossed
the boat around.
502
00:25:22,913 --> 00:25:26,690
And then rapidly this craft just
disappeared up into the sky.
503
00:25:26,842 --> 00:25:30,936
Over the years, there have
been many, many cases
504
00:25:31,088 --> 00:25:33,346
of UFOs seen over the water,
505
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:36,091
disappearing under the water,
506
00:25:36,110 --> 00:25:40,037
and in some cases,
emerging from under the water.
507
00:25:40,264 --> 00:25:43,690
CHILDRESS:
On December 29, 2020,
508
00:25:43,709 --> 00:25:46,377
a very curious thing
happened off of the coast
509
00:25:46,528 --> 00:25:47,878
of Hawaii.
510
00:25:48,105 --> 00:25:53,217
People could see a huge
cigar-shaped craft
511
00:25:53,368 --> 00:25:55,627
hovering off the coast
512
00:25:55,780 --> 00:25:58,130
and took photos of it, and,
513
00:25:58,224 --> 00:26:02,208
eventually, this craft
then plunged into the ocean.
514
00:26:02,228 --> 00:26:04,970
And the Navy
went out there to also
515
00:26:05,122 --> 00:26:07,639
look for possible wreckage
of some craft
516
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:09,900
crashing into the ocean
and found nothing.
517
00:26:12,146 --> 00:26:15,239
POPE: One theory about
this trans-medium travel
518
00:26:15,466 --> 00:26:18,725
and these USOs is that
what we're seeing
519
00:26:18,744 --> 00:26:21,470
is evidence of underwater bases.
520
00:26:21,563 --> 00:26:24,898
Now, this makes
a good deal of sense.
521
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,643
I mean, the distance involved
522
00:26:27,661 --> 00:26:29,828
for interstellar travel
523
00:26:29,980 --> 00:26:32,815
means that it's much easier
to have a base
524
00:26:32,908 --> 00:26:35,317
on the location
that you're interested in
525
00:26:35,336 --> 00:26:38,337
than to constantly travel
there and back.
526
00:26:38,431 --> 00:26:42,324
But what if that presence
goes back millennia?
527
00:26:42,417 --> 00:26:45,010
They're operating here,
but under the oceans,
528
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:48,513
right under our noses.
529
00:26:48,666 --> 00:26:51,925
HENRY: When we see the spherical
object in the video taken by
530
00:26:52,019 --> 00:26:55,337
the USS Omaha
hovering for a time
531
00:26:55,356 --> 00:26:57,339
and then descending
into the water,
532
00:26:57,358 --> 00:27:00,433
this opens up some
really interesting concepts
533
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:02,177
in relation
to the ancient world.
534
00:27:02,270 --> 00:27:05,364
For example,
in Sumeria and in Babylon,
535
00:27:05,458 --> 00:27:08,200
they talked about a god
being named Oannes
536
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:10,202
who lived in the sea,
537
00:27:10,354 --> 00:27:14,189
who emerged from the sea
wearing a fish cloak.
538
00:27:14,282 --> 00:27:16,300
He was, uh, an initiator
of humanity,
539
00:27:16,451 --> 00:27:19,285
who taught writing and science
and-and other concepts.
540
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:22,047
What's amazing about this
is that Oannes
541
00:27:22,199 --> 00:27:23,957
also founded a priesthood
542
00:27:24,051 --> 00:27:26,793
of beings called
Apkallu priests,
543
00:27:26,887 --> 00:27:28,962
who also wore fish cloaks.
544
00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:31,056
And in Sumerian cylinder seals,
545
00:27:31,208 --> 00:27:33,466
we see these Apkallu priests
546
00:27:33,486 --> 00:27:36,803
on either side of a luminous
or radiant tree of life
547
00:27:36,822 --> 00:27:39,231
with a winged disc
hovering above.
548
00:27:39,325 --> 00:27:44,219
The inference is-is that
this craft came from the sea
549
00:27:44,312 --> 00:27:47,331
because these are priests
of a sea being.
550
00:27:47,558 --> 00:27:50,150
And so, here's an example
of an ancient being
551
00:27:50,169 --> 00:27:52,920
emerging from the sea
and connected with a craft.
552
00:27:54,507 --> 00:27:57,733
NARRATOR: Oannes belonged
to a group of powerful beings
553
00:27:57,751 --> 00:28:01,086
known in ancient Mesopotamia
as the Anunnaki.
554
00:28:01,238 --> 00:28:03,514
The term Anunnaki means
555
00:28:03,665 --> 00:28:06,758
"those who
from the heavens came,"
556
00:28:06,911 --> 00:28:09,077
and refers to beings
557
00:28:09,096 --> 00:28:12,690
descending from the sky,
imparting knowledge.
558
00:28:12,841 --> 00:28:16,585
That is the most important thing
that we can read and learn
559
00:28:16,603 --> 00:28:20,847
about the Anunnaki,
that they were our teachers.
560
00:28:20,866 --> 00:28:22,941
So, I think it's very possible
561
00:28:23,093 --> 00:28:25,351
that what the ancient
people tried to record
562
00:28:25,446 --> 00:28:27,496
was an extraterrestrial
visitation.
563
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:31,283
NARRATOR:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
564
00:28:31,377 --> 00:28:34,694
perhaps the most compelling
evidence of an alien presence
565
00:28:34,714 --> 00:28:36,696
that traverses Earth's oceans
566
00:28:36,790 --> 00:28:40,384
can be found in an account
from 1492,
567
00:28:40,535 --> 00:28:43,036
recorded by
Christopher Columbus.
568
00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:46,782
CHILDRESS: It's a famous
story about Christopher Columbus,
569
00:28:46,875 --> 00:28:48,892
and he wrote this
in his journals,
570
00:28:49,044 --> 00:28:52,637
that as he was moving west
across the Atlantic
571
00:28:52,790 --> 00:28:55,140
towards the Caribbean
in his first voyage,
572
00:28:55,292 --> 00:28:58,384
he saw a light out in the ocean
573
00:28:58,404 --> 00:29:01,964
to the west hovering
over the water,
574
00:29:02,057 --> 00:29:05,909
and this light then descended
into the water,
575
00:29:06,061 --> 00:29:08,987
but Columbus felt that
this light was guiding him
576
00:29:09,139 --> 00:29:10,914
towards his destination.
577
00:29:11,141 --> 00:29:15,811
So, if this glowing object
that Columbus saw did,
578
00:29:15,829 --> 00:29:17,646
you know, go into the water,
579
00:29:17,664 --> 00:29:21,074
he's perhaps one of
the first witnesses to describe
580
00:29:21,168 --> 00:29:23,485
a trans-medium craft like this,
581
00:29:23,578 --> 00:29:26,171
which could hover, uh,
above the water
582
00:29:26,323 --> 00:29:28,340
and then disappear into it
like a submarine.
583
00:29:28,492 --> 00:29:31,994
NARRATOR: Could the
account of Christopher Columbus
584
00:29:32,012 --> 00:29:34,997
and the ancient Babylonian
stories of Oannes
585
00:29:35,015 --> 00:29:36,440
have a profound connection
586
00:29:36,667 --> 00:29:40,352
to the object recorded
from the USS Omaha?
587
00:29:40,504 --> 00:29:44,506
Do they provide further evidence
that the same crafts witnessed
588
00:29:44,525 --> 00:29:48,619
in the distant past are still
visiting Earth in the present?
589
00:29:50,030 --> 00:29:53,106
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
590
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:55,626
and believe the ultimate
proof of this
591
00:29:55,853 --> 00:29:58,712
can be found
in the Hebrew Bible.
592
00:30:10,384 --> 00:30:12,810
NARRATOR: Just
outside the Capitol Building,
593
00:30:13,037 --> 00:30:15,053
Congressman Tim Burchett
of Tennessee
594
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:16,647
speaks with a reporter
595
00:30:16,798 --> 00:30:19,724
about the much-anticipated
government UAP report,
596
00:30:19,819 --> 00:30:22,653
due to be released
in less than two weeks.
597
00:30:22,804 --> 00:30:24,729
To the surprise of many,
598
00:30:24,882 --> 00:30:26,715
he suggests that UFOs
599
00:30:26,808 --> 00:30:29,067
have been around
for all of human history,
600
00:30:29,219 --> 00:30:30,569
and can even be found
601
00:30:30,721 --> 00:30:33,330
in the Bible's Book of Ezekiel.
602
00:30:33,481 --> 00:30:34,906
POPE:
I was intrigued
603
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,559
when I heard that
Congressional representative
604
00:30:37,578 --> 00:30:41,487
Tim Burchett had talked
about these UFOs
605
00:30:41,507 --> 00:30:43,582
and said, "Well, this is
straight out of the Bible.
606
00:30:43,734 --> 00:30:45,233
This is the Book of Ezekiel."
607
00:30:45,327 --> 00:30:47,327
And I thought, "My goodness,
608
00:30:47,346 --> 00:30:49,096
he's an ancient
astronaut theorist."
609
00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:54,242
CORBELL: We have seen
a lot of unsolicited comments
610
00:30:54,336 --> 00:30:56,428
by congressmen, politicians,
611
00:30:56,580 --> 00:30:59,081
uh, even heads of the CIA
612
00:30:59,099 --> 00:31:02,751
have come forward
and given opinions about UFOs.
613
00:31:02,844 --> 00:31:04,844
This has been such a shocking
614
00:31:04,864 --> 00:31:07,939
and revelatory few years
about UFOs
615
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:10,534
that you're now seeing people
go back to the Bible
616
00:31:10,761 --> 00:31:13,261
and trying to understand
if those events
617
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,355
are similar to the events
that we're having today.
618
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:18,358
NARRATOR: Congressman
Burchett's bold assertion
619
00:31:18,377 --> 00:31:21,103
that UFOs can be found
in the Bible
620
00:31:21,121 --> 00:31:23,939
was a conclusion he came to
after careful study
621
00:31:23,957 --> 00:31:25,549
of the Book of Ezekiel.
622
00:31:27,277 --> 00:31:29,035
According to this text,
623
00:31:29,054 --> 00:31:32,964
the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel
describes a fiery chariot
624
00:31:33,058 --> 00:31:37,728
coming down from the sky
drawn by four living creatures.
625
00:31:37,955 --> 00:31:41,398
Each creature is flanked
by a metallic object,
626
00:31:41,549 --> 00:31:44,902
a wheel within a wheel,
that Ezekiel observes
627
00:31:45,053 --> 00:31:48,572
as it descends in a whirlwind
making tremendous noise.
628
00:31:48,723 --> 00:31:51,466
BURCHETT: It's pretty clear
what's going on in the Bible,
629
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:53,243
what he's describing, to me.
630
00:31:53,470 --> 00:31:56,138
I've read it many times.
You got to realize,
631
00:31:56,231 --> 00:31:59,141
Ezekiel was in sixth century BC,
632
00:31:59,159 --> 00:32:01,309
but he basically describes
633
00:32:01,328 --> 00:32:04,404
what I would say was what
people describe as a UFO.
634
00:32:04,423 --> 00:32:05,905
I mean, it's a wheel
within a wheel,
635
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:07,257
there's fire,
there's landing gear.
636
00:32:07,484 --> 00:32:10,652
To me, it sounds like
there's a craft landing,
637
00:32:10,671 --> 00:32:12,988
and there are
smaller craft around it
638
00:32:13,006 --> 00:32:15,006
that are providing
protection for it.
639
00:32:15,159 --> 00:32:18,101
And, you know, it's what we see
640
00:32:18,253 --> 00:32:20,345
when you see the president
land in a helicopter.
641
00:32:20,497 --> 00:32:22,755
There's not just one helicopter,
there's multiple helicopters.
642
00:32:22,849 --> 00:32:25,091
So, to me, it sounds like
643
00:32:25,185 --> 00:32:27,852
Ezekiel saw something that he
could not accurately describe,
644
00:32:28,005 --> 00:32:30,355
and he used things around him
645
00:32:30,507 --> 00:32:32,524
that he would see
in a day-to-day basis
646
00:32:32,618 --> 00:32:34,526
to describe what he saw.
647
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:38,121
The closest thing he has is a
wheel because that was the, uh,
648
00:32:38,348 --> 00:32:41,274
pinnacle of technology
at that time, was a wheel.
649
00:32:41,368 --> 00:32:44,294
NARRATOR: To Congressman
Burchett and many others,
650
00:32:44,446 --> 00:32:46,521
the Navy videos indicate
651
00:32:46,614 --> 00:32:48,448
that crafts like those
seen by Ezekiel
652
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:51,117
are still with us
in the present.
653
00:32:51,136 --> 00:32:53,786
BURCHETT: I think it's the same
type of thing that's being depicted,
654
00:32:53,806 --> 00:32:56,198
in olden times
that's being depicted today
655
00:32:56,291 --> 00:32:58,809
in some of those Navy tapes.
656
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,052
There's just too much similarity
for it not to be.
657
00:33:01,205 --> 00:33:04,481
If you heard those Navy pilots,
they're the sharpest we've got.
658
00:33:07,211 --> 00:33:08,485
BURCHETT:
You can tell they're excited,
659
00:33:08,636 --> 00:33:10,821
and they're trying to explain
what they're seeing,
660
00:33:10,972 --> 00:33:14,399
much like Ezekiel would try
to define what he was seeing.
661
00:33:14,493 --> 00:33:17,977
And so, I think that, um,
that it-it proves that
662
00:33:18,071 --> 00:33:20,146
we're definitely not alone.
663
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:23,333
NARRATOR:
To many UFO researchers,
664
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,894
the only difference
between ancient sightings
665
00:33:25,912 --> 00:33:29,506
like Ezekiel's and modern
21st-century encounters
666
00:33:29,733 --> 00:33:31,491
is that, today,
people have the technology
667
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:33,659
- to record them.
- (camera shutter clicks)
668
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:37,072
CORBELL:
We have seen throughout history
669
00:33:37,165 --> 00:33:39,741
that individuals will testify
670
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,927
to seeing in the sky,
you know, shields on fire,
671
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,856
or things that just
are not aerodynamic.
672
00:33:46,007 --> 00:33:50,176
Now, because of the-the nature
of our technology
673
00:33:50,195 --> 00:33:51,586
and our corroborative evidence,
674
00:33:51,679 --> 00:33:54,514
we have more information to say,
675
00:33:54,608 --> 00:33:58,201
"Yes, this happened exactly like
this witness said it happened."
676
00:33:58,428 --> 00:34:01,263
We just didn't have that
150 years ago.
677
00:34:01,281 --> 00:34:02,873
We just didn't have
that capability.
678
00:34:03,024 --> 00:34:07,527
The difference now is that we
are able to artificially capture
679
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:12,698
these craft and these
objects to a precise measuring
680
00:34:12,718 --> 00:34:14,718
of the rotation and the speeds.
681
00:34:14,869 --> 00:34:17,036
That is just something
we did not have before.
682
00:34:17,130 --> 00:34:20,632
We did not have it before,
but we have it now, so it's...
683
00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:22,726
I mean, kind of an exciting time
to be alive. (chuckles)
684
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:27,547
TSOUKALOS: Countless times
our ancestors referred to these things
685
00:34:27,641 --> 00:34:31,068
up in the sky as flying shields
686
00:34:31,219 --> 00:34:33,311
or flying furnaces.
687
00:34:33,405 --> 00:34:37,741
Today, we actually refer to that
as flying craft,
688
00:34:37,892 --> 00:34:41,894
flying machines,
unidentified aerial phenomena.
689
00:34:41,914 --> 00:34:45,657
Back then,
people didn't have those words.
690
00:34:45,751 --> 00:34:47,751
And so, in my opinion,
691
00:34:47,978 --> 00:34:50,829
there is a clear
connection between
692
00:34:50,981 --> 00:34:53,315
the sightings that we have today
693
00:34:53,333 --> 00:34:55,500
and the sightings
that we have in the past
694
00:34:55,594 --> 00:34:58,911
because if we would not have
the vocabulary,
695
00:34:58,931 --> 00:35:01,264
what we see in those Navy videos
696
00:35:01,491 --> 00:35:04,676
can be described
as a flying shield.
697
00:35:04,828 --> 00:35:07,996
These kinds of images
have been with us
698
00:35:08,089 --> 00:35:10,348
throughout our entire history,
699
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:15,112
and they're all telling
the same thing,
700
00:35:15,339 --> 00:35:19,098
that the ancient astronauts
never left.
701
00:35:19,118 --> 00:35:21,843
The same visitors
that we've had back then
702
00:35:21,936 --> 00:35:24,529
are showing themselves again,
703
00:35:24,681 --> 00:35:26,531
and this time publicly.
704
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:27,791
It's incredible.
705
00:35:30,036 --> 00:35:31,444
NARRATOR:
As the photographic and video
706
00:35:31,463 --> 00:35:34,856
evidence of UFOs
continues to grow,
707
00:35:34,949 --> 00:35:37,709
so, too, does the
number of people
708
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:39,694
who believe that governments
around the world
709
00:35:39,713 --> 00:35:42,305
know more than they
are disclosing.
710
00:35:42,457 --> 00:35:45,625
POPE: The idea that there's
an alien presence, and the idea
711
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:47,793
that the U.S. government,
amongst others,
712
00:35:47,888 --> 00:35:49,871
knows about all this
713
00:35:49,890 --> 00:35:52,891
is coming out of the fringe
and into the mainstream.
714
00:35:52,985 --> 00:35:56,227
Now, you hear of people
in Congress talk about it.
715
00:35:56,380 --> 00:35:58,730
We do not need to fear
these-these airborne
716
00:35:58,824 --> 00:36:00,382
unidentified objects.
717
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,066
They would've shown themselves
to be dangerous
718
00:36:02,161 --> 00:36:04,327
a long time ago by now
if they were a threat.
719
00:36:04,554 --> 00:36:07,222
BURCHETT: I wished
our intelligence community
720
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:09,391
would release everything
they have on that.
721
00:36:09,484 --> 00:36:11,726
The higher-ups put out
a lot that some
722
00:36:11,819 --> 00:36:14,987
of these recent tapes were just
sort of a joke, was an anomaly,
723
00:36:15,007 --> 00:36:17,174
but we sure have had
a heck of a lot of anomalies.
724
00:36:17,401 --> 00:36:19,843
I think there's a lot more
going on to this.
725
00:36:20,070 --> 00:36:21,753
I've talked to
military and people
726
00:36:21,905 --> 00:36:24,422
that, when something like this
happens, they are generally
727
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,925
told not to bring it up.
728
00:36:27,077 --> 00:36:29,093
They can have psych evaluations,
729
00:36:29,246 --> 00:36:31,246
they can have things
put in their records,
730
00:36:31,264 --> 00:36:34,416
and they're encouraged not to
bring these kind of things up.
731
00:36:34,434 --> 00:36:37,009
NARRATOR:
If the United States government
732
00:36:37,029 --> 00:36:39,512
and other governments
around the world
733
00:36:39,606 --> 00:36:44,016
were to reveal all the evidence
they have concerning UFOs,
734
00:36:44,110 --> 00:36:46,945
would it show irrefutable proof
735
00:36:47,097 --> 00:36:49,948
that there is an alien
air force on Earth?
736
00:36:50,100 --> 00:36:52,600
Ancient astronaut theorists
737
00:36:52,619 --> 00:36:55,879
suspect the truth
is even more incredible,
738
00:36:56,106 --> 00:36:59,216
and that hidden away
in top-secret facilities
739
00:36:59,367 --> 00:37:00,608
around the globe
740
00:37:00,702 --> 00:37:04,054
are recovered
extraterrestrial craft.
741
00:37:12,564 --> 00:37:15,398
NARRATOR: NASA's
Advanced Propulsion Physics Lab,
742
00:37:15,625 --> 00:37:17,809
known as the
"Eagleworks Project,"
743
00:37:17,903 --> 00:37:21,646
announces that, based on
their latest experiments,
744
00:37:21,798 --> 00:37:23,298
they now believe it is possible
745
00:37:23,391 --> 00:37:25,633
to create an actual warp drive
746
00:37:25,727 --> 00:37:30,805
and a spacecraft that can travel
faster than the speed of light.
747
00:37:30,824 --> 00:37:32,807
TAYLOR:
The team at NASA's Eagleworks
748
00:37:32,826 --> 00:37:36,494
has been trying to reproduce
a warp field, and
749
00:37:36,646 --> 00:37:38,663
the results have been
right at the edge
750
00:37:38,815 --> 00:37:40,573
of experimental error right now.
751
00:37:40,667 --> 00:37:42,667
So, they're not ready to go
build the Starship Enterprise,
752
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:45,762
but it's possible that
they can do an experiment
753
00:37:45,913 --> 00:37:48,656
that says we could build
the Starship Enterprise
754
00:37:48,750 --> 00:37:50,082
if we put enough work into it.
755
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:51,751
NARRATOR:
While some believe
756
00:37:51,770 --> 00:37:54,012
that such
a revolutionary technology
757
00:37:54,164 --> 00:37:57,682
is purely the result
of human ingenuity,
758
00:37:57,776 --> 00:38:01,111
others maintain that
such advances are possible
759
00:38:01,338 --> 00:38:04,188
because secret
government agencies possess,
760
00:38:04,283 --> 00:38:07,951
and are able to study,
crashed alien vehicles.
761
00:38:09,288 --> 00:38:11,529
It is a theory that
goes back to the famous
762
00:38:11,681 --> 00:38:15,107
Roswell crash of 1947.
763
00:38:15,201 --> 00:38:18,295
BURCHETT: Roswell happened
in '47. Roswell, New Mexico.
764
00:38:18,522 --> 00:38:20,371
They put out,
you know, UFO crash,
765
00:38:20,524 --> 00:38:22,040
and it was on the headlines
of the papers.
766
00:38:22,192 --> 00:38:24,876
Then, the next day,
they came back and said,
767
00:38:25,028 --> 00:38:26,619
"No, in fact,
it was a weather balloon."
768
00:38:26,713 --> 00:38:29,806
And it just contradicted
everything everybody had said.
769
00:38:32,126 --> 00:38:34,536
NARRATOR: Many have
alleged that the U.S. government
770
00:38:34,629 --> 00:38:36,479
secretly retrieved
an alien spacecraft
771
00:38:36,631 --> 00:38:38,464
from Roswell.
772
00:38:38,483 --> 00:38:40,966
In 1989,
773
00:38:41,061 --> 00:38:44,712
a scientist named Bob Lazar
even came forward to say
774
00:38:44,806 --> 00:38:46,656
that he worked
for the U.S. government
775
00:38:46,808 --> 00:38:50,401
reverse engineering crashed
extraterrestrial vehicles,
776
00:38:50,554 --> 00:38:52,554
divulging incredible details
777
00:38:52,572 --> 00:38:56,482
about the secret project
in the years that followed.
778
00:38:56,501 --> 00:39:00,395
The government is holding, uh,
nine alien spacecraft,
779
00:39:00,488 --> 00:39:04,749
um, that are propelled by, um,
780
00:39:04,901 --> 00:39:06,584
a modified gravity generator.
781
00:39:06,678 --> 00:39:09,070
Uh...
782
00:39:09,089 --> 00:39:10,755
It's being-- the work
is being conducted
783
00:39:10,907 --> 00:39:12,331
15 miles south of Groom Lake.
784
00:39:13,093 --> 00:39:15,352
CORBELL: The only
reason you know about UFOs
785
00:39:15,503 --> 00:39:17,095
and Area 51
786
00:39:17,247 --> 00:39:20,190
and that connection
is because of Bob Lazar.
787
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:24,435
He was faced with a lot
of adversity through this.
788
00:39:24,529 --> 00:39:25,753
But, in my eyes,
789
00:39:25,847 --> 00:39:27,179
he's telling you the truth,
790
00:39:27,199 --> 00:39:29,866
and it's backed up
time and time again.
791
00:39:31,444 --> 00:39:32,702
NARRATOR:
For decades,
792
00:39:32,929 --> 00:39:35,521
the U.S. government
denied Lazar's claims,
793
00:39:35,540 --> 00:39:37,932
as well as the existence
of the facility
794
00:39:37,951 --> 00:39:40,693
where he said the alien craft
were being held,
795
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:42,629
Area 51.
796
00:39:43,364 --> 00:39:45,882
But in 2013,
797
00:39:46,109 --> 00:39:48,276
a Freedom
of Information Act request
798
00:39:48,369 --> 00:39:50,128
finally forced
officials to admit
799
00:39:50,222 --> 00:39:53,056
that Area 51 is real.
800
00:39:54,208 --> 00:39:56,375
BURCHETT:
For the government to say
801
00:39:56,395 --> 00:39:58,453
the things they say
and to hold back
802
00:39:58,471 --> 00:39:59,954
on these reports,
803
00:39:59,973 --> 00:40:04,401
it goes back to Roswell
or any of those other...
804
00:40:04,628 --> 00:40:06,903
spots. It's just,
um, nobody trusts
805
00:40:07,130 --> 00:40:08,721
the government.
They don't trust government,
806
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:10,298
and they really, frankly,
they shouldn't.
807
00:40:10,391 --> 00:40:12,075
We-we don't keep
our word on anything.
808
00:40:13,653 --> 00:40:16,079
NARRATOR: The United
States isn't the only country
809
00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:19,249
accused of covering up attempts
to study alien craft.
810
00:40:20,919 --> 00:40:23,978
Many believe the Russians
have a similar UFO program
811
00:40:24,071 --> 00:40:26,071
at a site called Kapustin Yar,
812
00:40:26,091 --> 00:40:30,001
often nicknamed
the Russian Area 51.
813
00:40:30,153 --> 00:40:33,488
HENRY: Kapustin Yar was
one of the former Soviet Union's
814
00:40:33,506 --> 00:40:34,989
most secretive air bases.
815
00:40:35,008 --> 00:40:38,083
The rumor is, is they were
reverse engineering
816
00:40:38,103 --> 00:40:39,677
UFO technology
817
00:40:39,771 --> 00:40:42,847
that could be as much
as 1,000 years in advance
818
00:40:42,999 --> 00:40:44,023
of what we have today.
819
00:40:45,927 --> 00:40:49,170
NARRATOR: Recovered alien
vehicles are also rumored to be held
820
00:40:49,189 --> 00:40:52,431
at the Pine Gap military base
in Australia,
821
00:40:52,451 --> 00:40:55,193
at a mysterious desert airfield
822
00:40:55,345 --> 00:40:57,603
in the Xinjiang region of China,
823
00:40:57,697 --> 00:41:01,124
and at Rudloe Manor in England.
824
00:41:01,351 --> 00:41:04,702
With these craft coming
from other planets
825
00:41:04,854 --> 00:41:06,111
and other solar systems,
826
00:41:06,131 --> 00:41:09,299
this is clearly a very
advanced technology,
827
00:41:09,526 --> 00:41:12,527
and we are now
trying to catch up
828
00:41:12,545 --> 00:41:14,195
to these extraterrestrials
829
00:41:14,214 --> 00:41:16,455
and have the same kind
of technology
830
00:41:16,549 --> 00:41:17,807
that they already have.
831
00:41:18,034 --> 00:41:19,642
BURCHETT: It's clear
that there's something
832
00:41:19,794 --> 00:41:21,035
we don't understand,
833
00:41:21,054 --> 00:41:22,537
and we're not sure
where it comes from,
834
00:41:22,555 --> 00:41:24,038
and I just wish
they'd just say that.
835
00:41:24,057 --> 00:41:27,058
They think that the American
public can't handle it,
836
00:41:27,152 --> 00:41:29,319
and they can, in fact,
handle it, I think, very well.
837
00:41:29,470 --> 00:41:33,156
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the sensational footage
838
00:41:33,307 --> 00:41:35,383
recently released
by the U.S. Navy
839
00:41:35,401 --> 00:41:38,720
features the same type
of aerial vehicles
840
00:41:38,813 --> 00:41:41,313
that were documented
by our ancestors?
841
00:41:41,333 --> 00:41:44,392
Do we now have
overwhelming evidence
842
00:41:44,485 --> 00:41:47,729
that alien craft not only exist,
843
00:41:47,747 --> 00:41:49,897
but have been present
on planet Earth
844
00:41:49,916 --> 00:41:52,175
for thousands of years?
845
00:41:52,326 --> 00:41:54,585
Perhaps, when we
discover just who
846
00:41:54,738 --> 00:41:57,405
is behind the UFO phenomenon,
847
00:41:57,423 --> 00:42:00,742
we will uncover
an even more profound truth,
848
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,079
that extraterrestrials
have been living among us
849
00:42:05,098 --> 00:42:06,523
all along.
